Las Vegas Monorail Carries 55 Millionth Passenger

LAS VEGAS,
Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Las Vegas Monorail Company transported its 55 millionth rider today, with the lucky rider receiving a
Las Vegas gift package including a weekend stay, souvenirs and tickets to iconic
Las Vegas shows and attractions.
Kelsey Spatz of
Wausau, Wisconsin had the good fortune to be the 55 millionth rider through the fare gates this afternoon during a weekend trip with her mom,
Michelle Spatz, and was greeted by a traditional showgirl and a showering of
Las Vegas gifts.

"This marks another milestone for the Las Vegas Monorail," said
Ingrid Reisman, vice president of corporate communications for the Las Vegas Monorail Company. "Since opening, we've continued to provide both tourists and locals a clean, safe and convenient way to navigate the traffic and crowds of the Las Vegas Strip. The 3.9-mile Las Vegas Monorail ranks among the best rail systems in the U.S. in terms of the number of riders carried per mile of track and revenue earned per mile. I'm excited to have welcomed our 55 millionth passengers."
